Why Should You Use Planter Feet?

One of my biggest pet peeves with indoor planters is when you're left with water rings etched into the floor or the table your pots have been styled on. Planter feet lift your pots so the base can dry without inking the surface, and it also improves air circulation for planters with a drainage hole.

So, if you're decorating with plants around your indoor spaces, it might be time to treat your cultivars to these functionally stylish accessories. But if all you're after is giving your plants a boost, then here are some footed planters to get the job done.

Are Planter Feet Necessary for Outdoor Pots?

No, planter feet are not a must-have for outdoor pots. However, if you're container gardening on your patio or porch, it's a nice way to help your plants breathe a little more and look a bit better, too.


Another trend I'm loving that literally and aesthetically elevates your indoor garden is plinths, pedestals, and plant stands. And for more design ideas to make every corner of your home feel considered, sign up for the Livingetc newsletter.
